Default Post your cooling setups!!

I'm still ***** deep in my stroker transplant into my 67 Fastback. I'm torn between running the stock 67 radiator, using the foxbody radiator or buying a new radiator. What are YOU running?? Tranny cooler setups too!! Post some pics, I'm a very visual guy!!

Thanks!!!!

One thing I'm trying to figure out is the plumbing for the radiator, the stock radiator has a passenger side outlet while the water pump on the stroker and the outlet for the fox radiator is on the drivers side...

i've seen people plumb the tube across the bottom and it looks stupid to me. get a radiator with a driver's side tube to match your water pump.


4.1" stroke windsor

griffin 24" radiator using tweaked stock saddle mounts
stock style shroud
stock style fan w/clutch
homeade over-flow tank (for NHRA requirements)

I have a Meizere 55 gpm electric pump, Northern universal radiator radiator that fits frame rail to frame rail, and Taurus fan. Runs on a hot day about 178*

Wow, that is one clean resto project. Looks awesome! I kinda thought running the pipe under everything would be a bit suspect. I'm still a bit wery about running to stock fox radiator also, just can't decide what to do. If this was a full resto job like yours, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a new one...

Champion 3 row radiator, with their supplied elec fan. Derale relay. Runs at thermostat temp., even in traffic with 100* outside.

'68 w/AC 24" rad. in my '67 but I'm running the original 289 w/pass. outlet but I think the bb ones came out on the drivers side?
Removed the original 20" rad. and spacer plates, dropped in the 24", fabbed alum. side mount plates (didn't like the look of the top/bottom '68 straps). Polished the brass top tank. Mounted B&M 70273 stacked plate supercooler in front valence cutout and plummed solid lines. Haven't run it yet but it looks pretty so far...



I've moved the lines since but they're similar:
